Again I thank you all for your support on this fic. Its so fun to write this! Since I'm a TF fan as well as a IY fan its rare or unheard for me to mix things up.
I write chapters in advance so you guys have no need to worry about me writing the next chap. Its already written. If I don't finish this fic by sep 9(when I go back to school) I may have to limit new chapters to a few days or maybe a week.
Anyway on with the story.
Kagome woke up to the sound of Wheeljack building outside. When she opened her Window she saw something in the branches move and she screamed.
"AHHHHHHEEEEEIIII!" Kagome screamed.
Inuyasha was jerked from his nap in the tree and fell out of the branches and hit the ground face first.
"Are you all right?" Wheeljack asked from his work.
"You stupid girl! What was that for?" Inuyasha screamed at Kagome.
"You startled me you dolt! What were you doing in the tree anyway! I thought you went back?" Kagome asked in the same tone.
"I..well...I.." Inuyasha stuttered and blushed a bit.
Kagome sighed and closed the window.
Inuyasha went over and sat next to Wheeljack.
"How does this thing work anyway?" He asked as Wheeljack was installing a panel.
Wheeljack went on and on about things Inuyasha never heard of with words inuyasha didn't know the meaning of. He was about to doze off when the other Autobots arrived.
"Everything in order Wheeljack?" Optimus asked as he transformed from his semi-truck form to his robot mode.
The Autobot scientist nodded.
A few minuets later Kagome emerged from her house wearing her school uniform and carrying a huge looking knapsack.
"Are going to school Kagome?" Bumblebee asked when he saw her outfit.
Kagome was about to answer when inuyasha interrupted.
"No. That's what she wears when she goes in the well."
"Shut it Inuyasha. You don't have to be so rude." Kagome scowled at the half-breed.
Inuyasha snorted his protest and turned back to watch Wheeljack install the panel.
"How do you put up with him?" Ironhide asked.
"He acts mean and tough but he really is nice and caring." Kagome explained. "I think he's just intimidated by you guys. He usually isn't this rude unless Kouga is around."
"Kouga?"
Inuyasha's ear pricked up.
"He's the leader of the wolf demon tribe and he kind of has the idea that we're...um...." Kagome trailed off.
"That cocky wolf thinks Kagome's his mate! Next time I see that flea bag I'm ganna give him a piece of my mind." Inuyasha yelled at the sound of Kouga's name.
"I assume he and Inuyasha don't get along..." Ironhide stated.
"That's an understatement..." Kagome sighed.
"Done!" Wheejack announced.
"Finally!" Inuyasha jumped to his feet. "Come on Kagome!"
"We'll meet you on the other side!" Kagome waved as she and Inuyasha enter the well house.
"Alright Wheeljack fire it up." Bumblebee told the autobot scientist enthusiastically.
The ring structure was large enough for everyone to enter without having to bend down.
Wheeljack fired up the warp gate. The warp swirled around in pink and blue.
One by one Prowl, Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Optimus entered the warp gate.
When the emerged they were in a forest near a well and sitting on the edge of the well was Inuyasha and Kagome.
"Welcome to the feudal era." Kagome said cheerfully.
"Wow, everything so much...greener. There's no buildings or anything." Prowl observed.
Optimus nodded. It was beautiful.
"I wonder where Sango, Miroku, and Shippo are?" Kagome asked. "They usually hang out near the well till we come back."
Inuyasha turned to the girl.
"There probably in the village with kaede. I just hope they go jumping to conclusions." Inuyasha and Kagome sighed.
"Yeah..." Kagome agreed.
Inuyasha turned to Optimus.
"Follow us. The village isn't far from here and we need to get going to find those jewel shards." The hanyou told the Autobot.
The odd group set off for the village. Everything was quite as they walked.
:"Optimus Prime, this is Wheeljack, do you read me?": Wheeljack's voice came over the radio on Optimus's arm.
"I read you Wheeljack. The warp gate worked perfectly." The Autobot leader replied back over the radio.
:"Ok, Prime we'll be in touch at Shrine. If anything develops there or here we can inform each other.": Wheeljack informed them. :"Wheeljack out":
"Kagome!" A child like voice called out from the hill ahead of them.
Kagome turned to the source and smiled.
"Shippo!" Kagome exclaimed happily as the young kitsune jumped into her arms.
The Autobots looked
"I missed you Kagome! I thought Inuyasha drove you away again!" Shippo turned to Inuyasha and scowled at him like a naughty child.
Inuyasha looked at the young fox and growled at him.
"Why you little-"
"Its your fault Kagome's always leaving! 'Cause your still hung over Kikyou and she suffers for it! I have to be strong and brave for Kagome's sake!" Shippo yelled at the dog-eared boy.
Inuyasha turned red with anger. It was all he could do from not ripping the fox out of Kagome's arms and strangling him.
Shippo saw the Autobots standing to the side and freaked out.
"KAGOME! METAL MEN!" Shippo jumped out of her arms and ran behind her legs to hide.
"Ha! 'Strong and brave' my ass!" Inuyasha laughed.
Kagome shot the Hanyou death glares.
"Shippo its ok! They're friends. From my time." Kagome squatted down and patted Shippo encouragingly.
Bumblebee gave Shippo a smile and waved.
Shippo came out from behind Kagome and started to walk over to the Autobots.
"Your from Kagome's time? How did you get through? Your too big to go through the well." Shippo asked.
"Shippo!" Kagome said embarrassed her adopted son would ask something like that.
"We built a gate near the well and taped into the time warp." Bumblebee explained as he knelt down to see Shippo closer.
"Yo! Shippo! Wear is Sango and Miroku? We need to get going!" Inuyasha asked angrily.
Shippo sighed and turned to the dog demon.
"Miroku was being perverted again with some if the village girls and Sango got mad and stormed off. Miroku and Kirara went after her. They left about a half hour ago." The fox child explained.
Some of the Autobots were startled by this and exchanged looks.
Inuyasha cursed.
"Damn it! Why can't that guy keep his hands to himself!" Inuyasha fumed. "I'm a guy, but you do see me going after every pretty girl that walks by!"
"No! You prefer old dead girlfriends!" Shippo laughed.
Inuyasha gave shippo a mountain of bumps.
Kagome ignored the two fighting demons and motioned for the Autobots to follow her. They walked down the hill towards the village.
"Lady Kagome! Welcome back!" Some villagers said as they worked in the fields while Kagome walked by.
"Thanks. Where is Kaede?" The girl asked.
The villagers looked at one another and discussed.
"I believe she is in her herb garden."
"Thank you!" Kagome looked back at the Autobots. "Come on."
Prowl and Ironhide started a conversation.
"Did you see that? Those men didn't even look scared of us." Prowl told his old friend.
Ironhide nodded.
"Yeah, it is kind of strange. We've never been here before and I'm sure they haven't seen any Transformer before, but they seemed perfectly calm." Ironhide said confused.
Kagome looked over her shoulder at the two.
"They're use to seeing strange thing. This is the feudal era after all. There are scarier demon in the forest that any Transformer. I've brought back stranger things than you guys before. Besides they know if you're with me its safe." Kagome explained.
"They must really trust you." Optimus told the girl.
Kagome nodded.
"Well, it may be because I'm the reincarnation of Kikyou, but I think I've earned their trust by now. Only kami knows how many times we have saved the village."
It was true. The villagers of this village were very trusting in her, Inuyasha, and the others. She hadn't really thought about it till Optimus had mentioned it. It was flattering.
Suddenly Kagome froze. She sensed a shikon shard. It wasn't close and yet it wasn't far, perhaps the village over this one?
Inuyasha jumped right over Optimus's shoulder and landed near Kagome.
"Blood. And demons." Inuyasha said plainly and seriously. When it came down to it Inuyasha didn't fool around, especially if it could lead him to Naraku. Inuyasha was so determined to see Naraku pay for his crimes. Even though Inuyasha wasn't the only one who suffered at Naraku's hands you couldn't help but pity him. Sango should get every ounce of pity they could muster. Her family and village was dead and her little brother was Naraku's pawn. Forcing him to kill for his sick amusement.
"Blood? Where?" Kagome asked.
"Upwind. It's human blood, no mistake." Inuyasha turned towards the Autobots with a dead serious face. "If you're coming you better turn back to your weird forms. You probably won't be able to keep up otherwise."
Ironhide clenched his fists. Inuyasha was a delinquent with a temper and a mouth to match. How anyone could work with him was a concept beyond his comprehension.
A figure in the sky alerted Kagome and Inuyasha. The Autobots jerked their heads up. Years of civil war made them constantly on the look out for possible trouble.
"Sango! Miroku!" Kagome cried happily and the possible danger was dismissed. Kirara's large feline form swooped down and landed on the ground and the exterminator and Monk jumped off as Kirara assumed her smaller cat from.
Sango and Miroku looked surprised at the Autobots.
"You guys, these are the Autobots! They're going to help us gather the shards!" Sango looked at Kagome with sad, red and puffy eyes. She had been crying.
"Even though I'd love to know more about them, we have a problem. We came arcross a village...and..." Sango started but couldn't finish. She began to tremble slightly.
"What? What happened?" Inuyasha asked as thought he thought he might know.
Sango reached behind her and pulled out a mask.
They instantly recognized it as the same mask as the Sango's.
"Kohaku. It was him, wasn't it? He didn't..." Kagome asked with shock and false hope.
"The human blood I smelled before was from the village that was attacked and the demons were Naraku's hoard. Kohaku was leading them. Just like before." Inuyasha clenched his teeth as he spoke. An explanation from Miroku was unnecessary.
"Who's Kohaku?" Bumblebee asked.
Kagome turned to him. "Kohaku is Sango's little brother. Remember when I told you how Naraku tricked Sango and her comrades?" Kagome asked and went on after receiving a few nods. "Naraku took control of Kohaku and forced him to slay his family, comrades, and injure Sango."
"The castle archers shot him after he came to from Naraku's spell. He ran to me but they shot him before he got to me. His last words were, 'Sango, I'm so scared' He was only a child. Kohaku should have died that day but Naraku, damn him, he wasn't finished. He used a sacred jewel shard to prolong his life and control him. Time after time I have seen my brother commit crimes of such horror in Naraku's name..." Sango broke down and fell back into Miroku and he wrapped his arms around her comforting her.
"Sango." Kagome said sympathetically.
"How horrible. How could anyone do such a thing?" Prowl asked. "How could this Naraku control your brother with nothing but a jewel shard?"
Inuyasha snorted and walked over to Prowl.
"You are such an idiot. Are saying we're lying? If you want proof than come on. Wherever there's Kohaku, there's Naraku."
"Naraku is a monster. His evil will never die unless we gather all the jewel shards, purify the jewel, and destroy him." Kagome said sternly. "I know it seems far fetch to you, it did to me too, but believe me when I tell you. The shikon jewel is cursed. The legend you herd was true. Every bit of it."
"As we have said, Kagome. We will help you gather the jewel shards." Optimus said.
No one could help but feel sorry for Sango. The Autobots never thought such a small thing could cause so much destruction.
"Well lest go. The jewel shard I sensed was from Kohaku and I don't think going after him is an option seeing as I can't sense it anymore." Kagome almost happy they didn't have to pursue the boy. Sango had had enough heartbreak for today.
"I'm alright now Miroku." Sango said as she wiped a falling tear from her cheek.
"Hey!" A faint voice erupted from the background. "Wait for me!"
It was Shippo. No one had realized they had forgotten the fox cub behind.
The group than preceded to lady Kaede's herb garden where hopefully there was some advice the old one could tell them.
When they spotted the old woman cutting some weed like plants Kagome called out her greeting.
"Lady Kaede! Hello!" The younger sister of Kikyou looked up from her labor.
"Ah, Kagome your back. We were afraid Inuyasha had driven you away again." She joked.
Inuyasha growled his protest but to deaf ears.
Kaede gave their new comrades a look of surprised.
"Oh! Yeah, introductions! Lady Kaede, these are the Autobots! Optimus Prime, their leader, Prowl, Ironhide, and Bumblebee. They are from my time. We had a little confrontation over a jewel shard." Kagome said blushing a bit.
"Keh! You mean they were in the way." Inuyasha mocked.
"Indeed. Well in any case, Inuyasha, it appears you have succeeded in acquiring another shard of the jewel." Kaede said to the demon half-breed. "I suppose you'd be wanting some more herbs for your journey than, Kagome?"
Kagome acknowledged the woman's question with a polite nod.
"Yes, Inuyasha does get a bit scrapped up out there." Kagome told her.
"That's an understatement. Inuyasha goes swinging his sword at anything that moves." Shippo said as he stood casually next to Kagome.
"Speaking of Inuyasha's sword, what was that thing that you used on us back there on the road?" Optimus asked.
"Kaze no kizu." Inuyasha announced proudly as he pounded Shippo's head into the ground.
"Don't ask to many questions or Inuyasha's head will swell up like a balloon!" Shippo mumbled from the dirt, which Inuyasha help him with another helping of.
Kagome held her large yellow backpack open while Kaede stuffed herbs into it.
"That should suffice for now, Kagome. Sango I believe your Hakuru plants have blossomed as well." The old priestess informed the young woman.
Sango nodded.
"Just in time. I ran out of my supply two days ago." Sango walked off to a shaded part of the garden and started to pick the leaves off a spiky greasy looking plant.
"Hakuru?" The Autobots said in sync.
Sango brought the leaves over to them and held them out.
"The leaves of the Hakuru plant are used by demon exterminators to flush out hiding demons. They're burnt and the smoke is so strong that the demons can barely breathe because their senses are so much keener than humans." Sango wrapped the leaves in a white handkerchief. And placed them in her green pack on her back. "It's more powerful if its dried first but fresh works as well."
"So you fight demons for a living?" Prowl asked.
Sango sighed sadly.
"I use to."
Realizing what he had said Prowl stuttered in attempt to take it back.
"Oh! I'm sorry-I..I didn't mean to-"
"No, Prowl was it? It's ok. I miss my family and village dearly but I know they'd want me to go on with my life. That's the greatest gift you can give to the dead." Sango smiled at the security officer. "Besides I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I'm still a demon exterminator and warrior. I can't let these things affect me."
Prowl nodded his understanding, but he still felt guilty.
"I suppose you're all be heading off than?" Kaede asked as she grabbed her herb basket and got up.
Kagome nodded.
"As soon as possible." Kagome chirped.
"So is there any particular way we go or do we follow the dogs nose?" Ironhide mocked.
Bumblebee and prowl added a snicker to Ironhide's comment.
Inuyasha growled and charged at the old Autobot warrior with flex claws.
"Your dead!" Inuyasha yelled.
"SIT BOY!"
Inuyasha ate dirt.
"He never learns..." Shippo, Sango, and Miroku said and shook their heads in unison.
Inuyasha got up and stared at Kagome with death glares.
"..."
"You should know better." Kagome said simply.
"..."
"Inuyasha?"
"...WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR???!!!" Inuyasha screamed.
"You now why!" Kagome screamed back.
Sango and Miroku slipped them apart.
"We don't need hot tempers on the road." Miroku said calmly to Inuyasha.
"Keh." Inuyasha scuffed.
Tempers extinguished, Inuyasha, Kagome with shippo on her shoulder, Miroku, Sango, Optimus Prime, Prowl, Ironhide, and Bumblebee set off down the road after they said farewell to lady Kaede.
The Autobots choose to walk in Robot form since the others were walking and they didn't want to get ahead of themselves.
